Ski areas report robust holiday businessBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 03,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Skiers at the Stratton Mountain Resor during the Christmas holiday week.The states ski resorts are basking in the afterglow of the first major holiday of the ski season one that received a boost from two well-timed storms that dumped more than two feet of snow over the Green Mountains.
The Christmas and New Years holiday period was one of the best in years with several resorts reporting record business, Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said Wednesday.
The percentage increase in business over last years holiday period, which was not a good year, was anywhere from 20 to 50 percent higher, Riehle said.
Just off the charts, he said.
Killington Resort, the largest resort in the East, reported a double-digit average increase in business levels over the holiday period compared to last year.
We were up 14 percent across the board, Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson said Wednesday. She said that includes lessons, food and beverage, retail, rental, lodging and skier visits.
It wasnt a record-breaking holiday at Okemo Mountain Resort, but an excellent holiday all the same, said Okemo spokeswoman Bonnie MacPherson.
Although exact numbers werent available, MacPherson said business was way up from the previous years holiday period.
Even before the recent storms, she said lodging reservations were already at 90 percent capacity.
The first major storm right after Christmas gave Okemos snowmakers a bit of a rest.
We were really scrambling prior to the holidays with snowmaking, MacPherson said. Going into that week, we had gone through 115 million gallons of water in our snowmaking system and wed logged over 500 man hours staffing snowmaking.
It was also an excellent holiday at Bolton Valley.
The fresh snow really helped boost business. Bolton Valley spokesman Josh Arneson said in an email. Overall, for the week we were ahead of budget and way ahead of last years numbers.
Not only did the storms make for ideal skiing conditions but that same snow fell down country in markets where the resorts draw many out-of-state skiers. The ski industry refers to that as the backyard effect, which puts people in the frame of mind to head north and put on their skis.
Compared to a year ago, that state of mind, along with more open terrain, helped business over the holiday at Mount Snow in West Dover, the states southernmost resort.
Certainly was an improvement, said Mount Snow spokesman David Meeker.
After last seasons snow drought, Decembers snowfall was a welcome change for the states ski industry.
Andy Nash, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said snowfall this season is running well ahead of last year.
Nash said the state received 30.7 inches in December compared to 37 inches all of last season and just 6.9 inches in December a year ago.
Riehle said the recent storms covered the entire state.
I dont think Ive ever seen a snowstorm quite like this ... from Jay Peak all the way north to Mount Snow in the south, everybody got just about the same amount of snowfall, well over two feet, he said. Nobody got left out.
For businesses that piggyback on the success of the ski resorts, it was a profitable holiday as well.
Johnny Boys Pancake House on Killington Road came close to setting a record, serving 832 meals on New Years Eve and New Years Day, said owner LuAnne Petrone.
The Christmas holiday wasnt too crazy because its still home for the holiday and then this past weekend was fabulous, Petrone said.
Riehle said ski resorts hope to ride the momentum from the recent holiday. Up next is the Martin Luther King weekend followed by the Presidents Week holiday in February.
Winter tourism adds $500 million a year (2009) to the states economy in visitor spending, according to the Department of Tourism and Marketing.
Last year was an off year for the ski industry coinciding with the lack of snowfall.
The states 18 ski resorts recorded 3,903,171 skier and snowboarder visits during the 2011-12 season down 10.5 percent from the 4,365,906 visits the previous season, which was the best season since 2004-05. Nationally, skier visits last season were off 16 percent from the previous year.

What is Motion Sickness?
Any motion that a pet is not used to can cause them to feel ill and disorientated. While some animals see a car, boat or plane trip as an exciting journey, for others it can become a stressful time of feeling ill and unwell. The first signs of motion sickness are yawning and excessive drooling (sometimes followed by vomiting).

Has anyone had experience with the Aeroseal duct sealing product? I am aware of how it works, but I wanted to see if there are any pros and cons regarding this method of duct sealing.
Views: 1471
The stuff is amazing. Test in, repair, and test out all in one.
But hard to sell. People don't realize the comfort and energy penalty caused by not delivering conditioned air to where it is intended. This is another case where tracking peoples savings would be really useful.
There are some great Aeroseal discussions at HVAC-Talk.
I'm curious too. I was just asking my friend, a local foam insulation installer, whether he ever used it. He said he he had a sub that would do it, but his sub required cleaning the ducts first, despite Aeroseal's website's claim that pre-cleaning ducts wasn't necessary. He said that made it VERY expensive, but I'd still love to see the actual cost of a job. $$$? Could it be cheaper than what I recently had to do to meat my tax-credit-dependent duct leakage targets at a historic renovation in downtown Cincinnati? Two returns were routed without ducts through stud cavities and leakage was >500 CFM@25 . Target was ~100CFM@25. Several walls had to be opened up, properly ducted, and HVAC installers had to be monitored the whole time. They just didn't know any better.
Whatever the cost, I still see a potential oversight with this method based on their installation description-- their temporary plugs will prohibit the aerosol sealant from sealing what is often the biggest leak of the ductwork-- between the ductboot and drywall/floor. That's not a problem intrinsic to the sealing method, nevertheless, an issue that tends to get homeowners in an accusatory mood, blaming HVAC guys, drywallers, painters, general contractors. In my opinion, that's the first (low cost) way to seal most leaky ducts, but it is the task that is rarely assigned ownership in the project planning phase.
"what is often the biggest leak of the ductwork-- between the ductboot and drywall/floor"
I was discussing this with a co-worker, and I disagreed with this being considered duct leakage. As a HVAC designer I see the duct system independent to the building envelope when it comes to duct leakage. I tend to think the leakage from register connection within boot is small (if correctly sized), and that the connection from the register/boot to the drywall is more an application to air sealing. Do you have any referenced studies or documents that makes your quote for supported? I want to know if my co-worker and yourself are correct in this assumption of duct leakage.
Hi Sean,
It seems like your duscussion with your co-worker is over the semantics- when does the "duct" end and the "envelope" begin? As far as a duct blaster and blower door test is concerned, it's both. Sealing it would improve both duct leakage and envelope leakage. All I've got is personal anecdotes to back me up here. Sorry- no cool white papers.
Below is a picture of the situation I see daily. The duct installer will nine times out of ten say that his ductwork job is complete and sealing this ovious leak is not in his scope. He might be right. Imagine next, the grill is screwed on to the face of the drywall and a painter is told to caulk the grill to the drywall. Then, once the duct system is pressurized (or depressurized for a leakage test) the space between the boot and the grill will certainly fall somewhere in the spectrum of pressures between that of the main zones of the home and the max/min pressure of the duct system.
Even more relavent than performance during a testing procedure would be how it behaves during actual occupancy and daily living. Let's conservatively call it a 1/8" hole and a 4" x10" boot. That would would put the leakage area at ~3.5 sq in. Does the proximity of this 3.5 sq in hole to pressurized air of the ductwork make it bahave differently than a 3.5 sq in hole on the ceilng, floor, or wall? I would guess it acts more like a 3.5 sq in hole in the trunk of the ducts than it does a hole in the wall. I could be wrong, but I think my point is that it's not as simple as either/or.
I've had the great pleasure of testing and failing many homes that are pursuing various "green programs' " duct tightness protocols. Caulking or taping this gap tends to be the first and easiest place to tighten the systems up and the evelope. It doesn't usually involve a call-back to the HVAC guy but instead the super-intendent running around caulking and cursing the name of the HVAC guy. In my opinion, the scope of work needs to be better defined at the front end of the project. You can't blame the duct guy or the painter if it's never been defined.
Nice. That picture and your post are my light bulb of the day.
I'm also grateful for the humor, although when you consider "the super-intendent running around caulking and cursing the name of the HVAC guy" should he be thanking him for the work instead? Or maybe thanking the painter? Or the guy who missed defining caulking boots when building the job specification?
Where does responsibility for this task really lie? Who got paid to take the time to do this right, then didn't do their job?
Good points Chris,
I like how your thinking about register/ grille performance. But, I want to add that the once a duct is pressurized using a normal Air Handler Unit, you can expect a higher magnitude for velocity and a more precise flow direction (Bernoulli eqn or pressure, velocities in a tube). Air infiltration and Ex-filtration act under Turbulent flow conditions, I don't know if it's correct to say natural air functions like forced air.
So what I getting at is once the air reaches the boot it comes into contact with the register, and under goes a pressure drop (small if register has a lot of fee area, and large if register has small free area- Wood registers). The air should being forced out at a speed range (200-700 FPM), I usually design to 500FPM when doing Manual T designs. This speed and a high free area implies to me that there is no duct leakage.
Edit: Would Aeroseal have a good application for sealing my boot/ register connections?
Where does responsibility for this task really lie? Who got paid to take the time to do this right, then didn't do their job?
Haha-- question of the day!
Ever try this trick with your kids? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_H4g250UGQ Get the size/location of the hole wrong and it just doesn't do what you were hoping it would do for the audience. As a professional "wind chaser", I'm routinely humbled by the gap between what I think should happen and what does happen with air and pressure. When I hear you say "this speed and high free area implies there is no duct leakage," I'm wondering how you might conduct a duct blaster test that agrees with you.
That's right, I didn't comment about duct blasting testing as it relates to duct leakage calculations. Good point, in that case, there is completely no free area and the boot/register becomes a completely pressurized and can be seen as a leakage point.
There are 3 Aeroseal contractors in the Gr. Cincinnati area. The contractors provide a pre and post total duct leakage test to the home owner. I have seen total duct leakage go from 700cfm down to 100cfm in some of their jobs. Average (whatever average is) costs are about $2000 for a 1500-200 sqft home. You are correctthat their system does not deal with leakage around the boot, but their system does not measure that leakage either.
Hey Jim,
Great to see you here!
That's disappointing to hear that those local compaies don't measure the duct boot leakage.
I just visited a job yesterday for some diagnostic stuff here in Cincy where the brand new "platinumy" apartment had four supply registers. Testing duct leakage to outside (with ductboots as is = NOT sealed to drywall) measured 55CFM@25. Taping that gap at all four supply grills brought the leakage (to outside) down to 14 CFM@25.
When you get into the $1500 range you can just replace the duct system if it accessible.

Among the many highlights of the programming were sessions on power e-mailing by Corbin Ball; group security and contingency planning by Rick Werth, with a real-life example provided by Leanne Acton, CMP; an airline industry update by American Airlines' Tonia Rachel and Alynne Hanford; and a fun session on converting the complainer, where special guest speaker Connie Merritt incorporated music, visuals, and interactive activities into the mix.
As for the series of interactive roundtable discussions, moderator Pamela McQueen promised an "ICPA reality show" that would be a combination of "Survivor" and "Extreme Makeover." Participants got all that and more. They got to pick each others' brains for answers to vexing questions, both large—how do you add value without adding cost?—and small, such as what's the best way to get your voice mail under control? Participants leapt to their feet to throw their ideas into the ring, and notepads were rapidly filled with best practices and interesting new options to explore. As McQueen promised, everyone did walk away with at least three—it ended up being more like 30—new ideas they could implement back at their offices, and at least three new professional contacts to network with.
These discussions continued through the social events, which included lunch with a view at the Windsor Court Hotel and an evening of jazz and blues at the host hotel, the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans. Everyone really got to feel like a star, though, on the first evening. After meeting in the Ritz's lobby to be garlanded with strands of beads, participants danced down Bourbon Street through the French Quarter behind a jazz band while tourists begged for beads and videotaped the procession. The parade wound up at an elegant reception at a private residence in Jackson Square, followed by a K.Paul-prepared dinner at the Moore Goldstein Historical House, which also happens to be the home of Bonnie Boyd, head of BBC: Bonnie Boyd & Co., the DMC that arranged the evening's activities.
Look for more Forum details in the September/October issue of Insurance Conference Planner magazine. And look for more great photos of the event, which like the ones shown here were taken by redbutton.tv. If you don't want to wait, go to ICPAphotography.com to see more of the fun we had in New Orleans. Use event password "Jazz."

openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Normally open July 4th only---the one day a year when partisan politics, religion, etc. are acceptable topics on this Board (within reason). The forum is now closed.
Well that's the point isn't it. Advertisers probably don't know you exist and/or how big the market is. You might want to leave the pink heels at home -- just not practical for traipsing around the stadium. But I was at a big int'l track meet in Italy a couple years ago and someone had discreetly hung a little rainbow flag over the wall in front of their section. It attracted a big group of enthusiastic supporters each day and nobody, it seemed, even raised an eyebrow... If those who are already supportive of T&F can bring thousands of friends on board and get them interested in the sport it's a win-win situation and marketers will take notice.
Then again, Italy is not the USA. Each culture/country has a whole different set of things that society generally deems acceptable. I haven't lived in the US for many years, so I couldn't even take a wild guess as to how the general population would react to such a flag, but it could be a starting point.
So any other gay T&F fans on the forum who want to meet up and fly the rainbow flag and cheer for our GLB brothers and sisters at a meet? Pick one meet and make an event out of it--in Europe or the U.S.!!! I volunteer to serve on an "organizing committee" if there is enough interest. September in Stuttgart, perhaps??

i can't think of anything worse, i'm as out as it is possible to be but why would i want to wave a flag at an athletics meet. wouldn't even do that at pride march.
of course there is every need for campaigning on equality issues and in uk we now have equal age of concent, marriage, adoption rights and transgender people can change their birth certificates and there is new legislation to ban discrimination in the workplace so politically we have come a long way even if there is still some social predjudice. the only flag you should wav at a track meet is the Union Jack
it's up to individual athletes to have the courage (i'm not sure it actually takes courage) to just be themselves, there is no need to make an issue of it. if other people want to let them. i know it would be easier in womens tennis but Amelie Mauresmo would be a perfect example of this.
then there was the uk sprinter who's name escaped me coz he was only in the team once who felt the need to walk up to me and shout "i love p***y" in my face !??!?!?!?
i was like "you're welcome to it mate, i won't fight you"
This was what I was going to post. Amazes me just how many fans there always are who are gay in such a seemingly "gay-free" sport! Then again, most sport is...well probably bar the likes of figure skating, but hey ho, I digress into stereotypes and move on...
I remember having a wonderful argument on the IAAF boards with some imbecile who wanted to "have me shot" a few years ago in a similar discussion to this. Thing is, I seem to recall a few people agreeing with him...nice to see things have moved on I suppose...
Though I have to say I'm really not sure why this, which is quite a valid and sensible discussion if you ask me, has been shunted in here...
It;s about as controversial as all the "white sprinter" debates is it not, and all those seem to survive untouched...
His name was Blind Dawg. I think he ran Sub 10 forum or something. Complete dick.
I would imagine there are probably lots of 'out' elite gay athletes, it just comes down to how 'out' they are! I mean, if their friends and family know, they're out, right? Do they need to bring it to the attention of the media in an interview after a race? I understand if it's for a non-athletics related publication where they're asked questions about lifestyle, but other than that I dont see why the sexuality question should/would come about in an interview trackside with Sally Gunnell!
Now, just because someone is gay it doesnt mean they have something in common with someone else who is gay. I'm not one for all this All Gays Together stuff. I can see events such as Pride are a celebration and are great events, but after that I want to walk away from the event and hang out with my own friends, not with Priscilla Queen Of The Desert, just because Priscilla is gay too. 'Gay' is what I do and what I am inbetween the sheets. It is occasionally what I am on the streets, when there is a need for it. I am not hiding it, it's just something I am, if you dont like it, I dont give a damn!
I understand Jean Galfione has been spotted in Le Queen many a time. Now, he's a great example of masculinity and looks, so is a good role model if he is gay. Andrea/s Kreiger probably isnt a good example.....
Don't read too much into attendance at "Le Queen"...last time I went there it was mainly straight. The crowd has changed VERY much as it became a "hip" place to be when the gays were there. Though it's still "gay" officially, it's really rather more mixed nowadays...
What's scary about the Navratilova issue is that she seems to be a very well respected person and athlete and if anyone would be able to "get around" these types of issues you would think she'd be at the top of the list.
Indeed they do. Perhaps the worst offender is that little piece of filth known as Ann Coulter, a media slut worse than Madonna. I should know better than to stoop to her level of language - I made the mistake of reading about her today and went for a 30 minute run, then threw up in the toilet from excess lactic acid. Sometimes it is just best to get it out of your system. She's damn lucky that the people she attacks in the name of Jesus Christ are so forgiving of her proclivity to use a microphone as an uzzi.

She's hideous. Luckily we just don't get such specimens on TV over here (Although Melanie Phillips is vile in her own way).
As Chris Rock once succinctly put it to her "You're one mean bitch"!!!
She's also thick as two short planks and could hardly hit sand if she fell off a camel during a hump. Has the audacity to say she has brains, then calls evolution "bogus science". I'm not sure what the speed of light is in her universe, but it must come to a grinding halt in that black hole between her ears.
For those gay and lesbian athletes who may still be trying to reconcile their faith with their sexual orientation, some excellent resources:

there's one US world champion who i thought it was common knowledge was gay. God forbid i actually name him but everyone knows it.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
I was just going to say the same thing. He's not 'in the closet' it's just not been publicised.
If he decided to announce it to the world I doubt anyone would raise and eyebrow but it's not really relevant to his sporting career so wwhy would he bother.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
And I think it's a very good sign that many of us are so little concerned about this that we don't even have the energy to ask "who is it?" That fact isn't relevant to the activity on the track, and is just another reminder that ALL athletes are three-dimensional human beings, with personal lives, a variety of interests and talents, etc., etc.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
I saw a great interview with Billie Jean King yesterday and she said something that seems to make her unique among homosexuals. She said that knowing everything she knows now, if she had to do her whole life over again, she would have still married Lawrence King because she was not a homosexual when she married him, and at the time, she wanted the typical American family including house with white picket fence and three kids. She basically said that she never thought about girls growing up and was always attracted to boys, and that she evolved into a homosexual but was born a heterosexual. I've also read some place else that one of her biggest regrets was getting an abortion, which she did largely because she didn't want to take a year off from the prime of her tennis career, and thought there would be plenty of time to make babies after she retired, not realizing that she would be divorcing her husband and abandoning her heterosexual lifestyle in the future.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Which is why it is important that some gay and lesbian athletes come out and show that it is OK to be gay and a top-level athlete. Most straight people still don't understand what it is like to be considered second-class. As much progress as have been made, we are still FAR away from true equality!
Mump and Flump: If you don't want to say the name, can you at least say the event?
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
No. It's not our place to out anybody on T&FN.
I completely agree with your premise that it's important to have gay role models but that is entirely dependent on them wanting to be so. Whilst I would have huge respect for anybody who decides to make the matter know to a wider public, I'm not going to do it for them and I'm surprised that you would ask.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Absolutely correct. An individual's sexual orientation is nobody's business.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
i'm not naming names but i also find it rather annoying that it would be a big deal if i did, as if there is still something wrong with being gay and it's a brave decision to tell people. i don't think it's brave to be out i think it's cowardly not to be.
For all i know there are many athletes who are openly gay but nobody has bothered to ask them about it in an interview and they haven't felt the need to talk about their personal life in what is ultimately a work environment. i don't know anything about the personal lives of many athletes i presume to be straight, so what's the difference. it seems common knowledge the athlete i was refering to is gay (although i have no personal knowledge of the fact) i wasn't told as gossip just as an accepted fact, they may very well have no problem with the wider public knowing or discussing it.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Apropos of nothing (except gayness), but I almost bought a t-shirt the other day that said,
Sorry girls - I'm gay
which I thought my wife would appreciate (!), but she gave me that frowny look, and I put it back in the rack.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Oh, go for it! Your wife might not enjoy it, but we sure would!
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Since I started this thread (and probably helped cause the creation of this forum!) 4 years ago, no major T&F has come out publicly to date. How long will it take and what will the reaction be when it finally happens? Women tend to be a lot more courageous when it comes to revealing their sexuality, so I'm thinking several lesbians will come out before we'll see a guy do it.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
What purpose would it serve for active (or retired) T&F athletes to "come out."? i cannot imagine a positive benefit.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
In today's parlance 'coming out' is seen more as 'courageous' than even addressing the gay aspect. Megan Fox 'came out', immediately got some buzz; some people saw her as more than just a "smokin' hot babe", but then she married some guy and admitted the gay statement was just about 'youthful experimentation', so she had the best of both worlds. She managed to garner sympathy and 'cred' as a 'real' person, but then keep her straight (men) following.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Uhhh??? Yeah, makes sense but who is Megan Fox and what T&F event does she compete in? .
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
In this day and age in the western world it is not courageous to come out, it is something most people do in their teens !!
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Exactly. Some folks I knew in the mid-1970s were courageous for not hiding who they were. Nowadays, who cares? The world has changed completely since then.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
The sports world hasn't changed much.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
A couple thoughts to add to this. One is that there are at LEAST a half dozen major US stars that are gay, some of which are on the team to Daegu. Everyone in the track community that travels around these athletes is well aware of this and most of these athletes do not particularly hide it. However they know that a full "coming out" can cost them and as much as they could help others to follow should they do so, their agent more than likely convinces them its not worth the risk. While some would no doubt get a boost in support would it offset potential pitfalls?
I just find it so ironic that so many conservatives in the US are anti-homosexual and push the government to ban gay marriage but protest like crazy when there is any government intervention into business and corporations saying thats not the role of government.
Seems to be there are far fewer anti-homosexual athletes around than their used to be although I still have to remind some athletes of how inappropriate saying the word faggot is I know they are not talking about bundled sticks of wood!
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
but still a long way to go.
Anyone thinks that 'gay' isn't still a significant stigma is not in touch with Middle America, where 'faggot' or 'that's so gay' still flourishes.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
The athletics world would give a collective shrug of 'who gives a shit' and continue on as normal. The reason no one has 'come out' is because it has absolutely nothing to do with running, jumping or throwing. There are undoubtedly many athletes who are openly gay in their private lives but the are very few circumstances where the fact would overlap onto the track.
I doubt they're hiding it, it probably just doesn't come up.
Phil - "So how was that race for you"
Athletic Gayer - "Really great thanks and by the way, I like a big cock!!!"
Not going to happen is it?
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
True, people can say it isn't an issue (maybe in other places it isn't), but on the lower levels it absolutely is an issue. The original point of the tread was about seeksreal being pushed away from track for cultural reasons and there is no doubt we are loosing many athletes for this reason. One can say who gives a shit at the upper levels but in many American high schools the situation is different.
Re: openly gay and lesbian athletes?
Are you serious ??
We know loads about the personal lives of many athletes, who they are in relationships with etc and it entirely normal for them to talk about this in public. Nobody would say it was an invasion of privacy or none of our business if sanya was asked about her marriage or Jemma Simpson was aasked about ChrisThompson.
It would seen that being gay truly is 'the love that dare speak it's name' the fact that this discussion has been banished to the free speech thread only to rear it's head once a year would seem to confirm this fact

Non-retro naked street-rod motorcycle was a brave marketing decision from Honda. Unfortunately the Honda CB1100 X-11's sales were slow and the plug was pulled quickly. Often thought of as an unfaried Honda CBR1100XX Super BlackBird – but it's not. The Honda CB1100 X-11 is indecently powerful, big, very well put together and slightly iffy in the corners.

The Kawasaki Z750 simply hammers its rivals of the time in the naked sector with a genuine 100 back wheel bee-aitch-pees, which it marries to insane looks and an addictive personality that echo its bigger, madder Z1000 brother. This could be the ultimate commuter.

WASHINGTON PARK — The St. Clair County State's Attorney charged a 22-year-old East St. Louis man on Saturday with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a 17-year-old Washington Park man.
Sybhonn Eubanks of East St. Louis, is the gunman who was charged with firing multiple gunshots into the car that ended Tramond Davidson's life on Wednesday night.
St. Clair County Coroner Rick Stone said Davidson was shot in the head, chest and abdomen. Davidson died while his brother was taking him to the hospital.
Eubanks was being held in the St. Clair County jail in lieu of $1 million bail.
Also, prosecutors charged another man in connection with a second shooting in Washington Park on Wednesday night.
Ryan Anderson, 24, of Washington Park, is accused of shooting two men, who are still in an undisclosed hospital.
Anderson is charged with three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.
Bail for Anderson, who was being held in the St. Clair County Jail, was set at $1 million. Anderson is accused of shooting out of a vehicle at a group of people who were standing at the intersection of 46th Street and Hallows Avenue in Washington Park, which is where the two victims sustained bullet wounds.
Illinois State Police took over the investigation from Washington Park. Illinois State Police Capt. James Morrisey said police are looking into whether the shootings are related because they happened so closely together. Police are also looking into whether it was gang related or related to other shootings that have occurred in Washington Park in the last three weeks.
Contact reporter Carolyn P. Smith at 618-239-2503.

Now that July is over, I have a years supply of red salmon again (canned, frozen, and smoked). So my new favorite breakfast? 3/4C egg white scramble with hash browned yams, onions sauteed in olive oil, and a touch of smoked salmon crumbled all over it. Works perfect in place of bacon bits, which is Not on the food list.
soudsn delicious... except maybe the olive oil not authorized?
I would recommend it if anyone has smoked salmon available. You scared me, though about the olive oil, so I rechecked the list. Olive oil is approved as a healthy fat in the Champions BFL book.
Yes olive oil is a healthy fat however my original BFL book says to only add this type of healthy fat a couple of times a week. We're not supposed to actively cook with it (unfortunately).
I wish I had some smoked salmon :-(
I totally looked at the smoked salmon at Trader Joe's yesterday... dang that stuff is EXPENSIVE!
I'm glad you told me about this...I'll have to reevaluate some of my cooking/food choices. The nutrition tab of this website only says to include 1Tbs per day of healthy fats, but doesn't clarify as it does in your book. Cooking for me is like creating a piece of art. I love to creating delicious meals that are healthy.
Thayer I hear you :( I always wish the same thing when we run out. It's way too expensive to buy, so we wait until we can catch some and smoke our own.

The Huffington Post UK | By Felicity Morse Posted: 13/04/2012 16:06 Updated: 13/04/2012 16:11
The investigation into the Northern Irish Priest, who accidentally projected a series of pornographic gay images to a group of parents at a primary school meeting, has been hampered after the theft of the laptop at the centre of the investigation.
Father Martin McVeigh was setting up a slideshow for parents of children taking their First Holy Communion when the 16 "indecent images of men" appeared on the screen.
The audience, which reportedly included an eight-year-old boy, were left "horrified and distracted", according to the BBC.
The holy man is said to have quickly removed his memory stick from the hard drive and "bolted out of the room".
At the time the priest stated he had no knowledge of the offending imagery. A statement released by head of the Catholic Church in Ireland said that Father Martin McVeigh was "co-operating with an investigation of the matter on the part of the archdiocese".
However the investigation is now at risk of falling into disarray after the burglary, during which only the laptop was taken, The Irish Times has reported.
Police have launched a public appeal to help find the computer.

Because of public demand, here a sign of life from us. Yes we are still working on a solution, even if the process was slowed down by the loose of important hardware.
Be asured we are still busy with the work and didn't gave up due to some announcements all over the web.
Sadly the process of research is still slow and takes its time, if there is something to report it will be. Give us some time, its not liek simply crack a shitty shareware or something, this is much more difficult.
Give us the time we need and don't break your phone in the meantime while attemping a hw unlock without any electronic skill. That patchs and the phone itself are so small and so quick to break, don't try it if you are not confident with the proper tools. I read of too many broken phones the last few days.
You saw so many stunts in the past and I think we archived a major part of the iphone landscape changing. Give us a bit and in the meantime feel free to check back to this palces as often as you like.
